Drill Of Minnesota Company d. In Washington.


correspondent says: No greater corwd
has yet assembled in the grand stand
than sat there at 1l:30 last Saturday
morning on the 2Sth inst, when Capt. Bean
led his company through the further gates
Of the drill ground enclosure. Among them
sat Gov. MeGill. Adit. Gen. Seely, Maj.
Strait, Congressman Macdonald, Capt.
tulbersen. Senator Daniels, Judge Crowell,
W. w. Price, Col. Richardson and Il score
of others. The modest regulation uni
form with the broad white stripe ut the
legs, the immaculate regulation gloves and
the erect bearing OF the men challenged the
admiration OF the audience after week S
safety of bright and glittering trappngs,
and the regulation step in which they have
been trained caught the eye and won the
respect of the regular army men scattered
about the enclosure
The associated press account says:
The Minnesota men are oil remarkable
uniformity in size, and are very soberly
clad, their white gloves, white shoulder
knots and hrasstipped helmets being
almost the only relief to the somberness
Of their uniforms. They stacked their
arms, filed to the rear came to the right
about again and to the front as one man,
the CLINT OF the sunshine upon their he'll
IHets, betraying not the slightest wavering.
In fixing and untixing bayon there were
two or three delinquents but i'll generaltheir
work at the manual was exceedingly good.
while in firing by file, kneeling, lying down
and rising, they were second to none. In
movements by company front and voley
firing they kept up their excellent record,
but they made one glaring failure. They
lost step and line in an advance at double
time, halted, and, without dressing, knelt
for firing sadly out of line. With this sim
gle exception their record is almost unex
ceptionable. The divisions OF military
judges was expected on Monday.

The Liquor Traffic.


The ladies' Of the Woman's Christian Tenn

to the District commissioners regarding the
Issuing Of liquor licenses:
The woman's Christian Temperance Union
Of the District profoundly interested in its
prosperity and morality, knowing something
of the evils OF the liquor traffic, and believing
that the granting oflloenses is largely intrusted
to your Judgment and discretion, and that ap
plications for renewal of licenses will be made
In the coming month of October;
We DO respectfully and most earnestly petit
tiOn yonr honorable body to limit as far as posi-
be Il @ number Of licenses Issued, aud to re.
fuse absolutely licenses TO all persons who
have sold, or allow to be sold, Intoxicating
drinks to minors, and allowed or allow their
falcons to be open OH Sunday; also, to refuse
licenses to wholesale dealers who have been
convicted of violating the law, and to those

have been presented.

SUPPLY A sPITTooN
To Save the New church Carpet from
Being Stained.
"Isn't that pretty ~

Bong stained.
"Isn't that pretty ?"
The query GENE from one of a group az
ladies standing in a ncwly.iltted and freshly
frescoed church In this city yesterday, and
she referred especially to the new carpet
with which the floor OF the beautiful place
Of worship is covered.
Every one agreed that It was very pretty,
and they were proceeding to express their
admiration OF the whole place generally,
when the first speaker said, pointing to
spot In n certain pew, "Tho color will be
entirely oblitor8ted there by Sunday night"
"Wby will it" commenced one elderly
sister who had been self-appointed com
mittee Of one on the quality OF that carpet
and who approved the purchase, but she
got no further, for broad smile o'erspread
her Countenance and she twisted her lips up
ns though she was going to squirt out q
mouthful of tobacco Juice.
THAT'S it,n was the reioinder and then
reporter who bad heard the conversation
aud witnessed the dumb show requested to
be enlightened.
The story was not long one, but II was
Interesting, because II showed how power
fully habit can control those who are bound
In the chains OF their own weakness. In
that church are several members who are
moderate tobacco chewers, and they can.
not fight their appetite for even couple of
hours. The result ia that the carpet is
stained by the juice which they necessarily
exude, and the hearts of the ladies are
correspondingly saddened.
The reporter was consulted as to what
should be done TO save the carpet, and he
suggested that the ladies might do as their
sisters did in an uptown Methodist church.
There the evil had been met and overcome
by putting spittoon near the place where
The offender sat. To be sure the sexton
hsd to lcok after 1t, but 1t saved him many
pain In the back from attempting TO re-
move the stains In the carpet.
The matrons approved the suggestion,
and the regular attendant who profaues the
new green carpet with moisture from the
tweed" must not allow his feelings to be
hurt II on the following Sabbath ho should
find in his pew red and gold or green aud
gold tin spittoon.
